curriculum and its incorporation in the relevant academic program at the Institute level.

1.4.3 Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC)

The Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) was established in 2008 at the GIK Institute. The cell
works under the direct supervision of Pro-Reactor (Academic) and implements policies for
16
quality assurance at the institute. The internal quality assurance procedures and processes of
teaching, learning assessment are in line with the HEC’s quality assurance guidelines. The
cell is responsible to undertake assignments of; data analysis, provide support in compilation
of self-assessment reports (SARs), Program Teams and Assessment Teams meetings,
seminars on quality assurance and to create awareness, impart training for quality teaching
and education. The QEC has completed SARs of all undergraduate programs in the first cycle
and adopted the implementation plan for continuous quality improvement. The cell has
improved the internal quality assurance on Outcome Based Education (OBE).
The vision of QEC it to provide education at the highest standards of quality by employing
best framework recommended by HEC and PEC to meet international standards. The detail of
QEC is given in Chapter 9.

1.4.4 International Advisory Board

The founding fathers of the Institute were conscious of the fact that in spite of all the idealism
one may have, new institutions tend to regress towards the existing models and fail thereby to
live up to the ideals which inspired their creation. They therefore took care to build
monitoring mechanism to maintain the Institute's standards of education and research. One
such device is the International Advisory Board consisting of leading scientists, engineers,
and academicians of international standing. The Board sets up international standards for the
Institute in terms of the quality of education and research, the caliber of faculty, revision and
review of the curricula, and the adequacy of the laboratory and library facilities. The present
International Advisory Board of Faculty of Electrical Engineering comprises the following
members:

18
1.5 OBE IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEM

GIK Institute’s vision and mission and attainment of PEOs are monitored continuously
through OBE implementation process. It involves different bodies and stakeholders (alumni,
employers and graduating batch students) for the improvement of the program.

Mission and Vision statements clearly communicate and reflect the ultimate purpose of the
Institute. The statements are approved by the Board of Governors and reviewed regularly by
the concerned authority and stakeholders. The following members are involved in the writing
of the mission statement:

 SOPREST
 Rector
 Pro-Rectors
 Deans
 Faculty Members
Vision and Mission are also communicated through various channels like the website,
prospectus and faculty posters. GIK Institute is committed to providing a personalized
student experience within a collegial learning community dedicated to creativity, innovation
and excellence in teaching, research and scholarly activities. This is our vision, and a key part
of the mission statement. Therefore, our faculty, students, alumni, and staff attempt to
achieve these objectives. The vision and mission statement of GIK Institute are given in
Chapter 1 of this report.

(a) Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)


The PEOs are formulated on the feedback of faculty members, alumni and industry
employers. The PEOs are published in the prospectus and are available at faculty section of
the GIK Institute’s website (http://www.giki.edu.pk/FEE). The implementation of the OBE
system for the PEOs is discussed below.

Design/Planning: In planning phase of this cycle, initially the most essential thing is to
design Institute’s vision and mission and then communicate it through proper channel to all
concerned to design PEOs. Once they are defined, program specifications are planned and
program objectives are formulated in accordance to these specifications. In the design
process, IAB, AC, FSB and QEC are also involved.

19
Assessment: Assessment of PEOs is carried out through feedback from employers and the
Alumni (> 5 years). In this phase, program educational objectives are assessed through these
surveys every year.

Analysis and Evaluation: Based on the analysis of the feedbacks of employers and alumni,
the curriculum review report is performed. The results of this assessment are compared with
the already defined PEOs and any difference found is analyzed and report is written to start
the revision process of PEOs.

Revision: If required, PEOs are reviewed taking feedback from Industrial Advisory Board
and corrective action plan against the recommendation is prepared and implemented which is
later followed up by the QEC. The complete CQI cycle for PEOs is given in Chapter 9.

(b) Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)


The defined Program Outcomes are linked to the Program Objectives. PLOs are published in
the prospectus and are available at Faculty section of the GIK Institute’s website
(www.giki.edu.pk/FEE). PLOs were established after various sessions and meetings held by
Pro Rector (A) on OBE and OBA with the faculty members and the concerned stakeholders.

Design/Planning: Program learning outcomes are defined and aligned with the mission and
vision of GIK Institute by concerned faculty. Planning of PLOs incorporates designing and
formulating an entire framework of curriculum that focuses on the thrust areas of a faculty.
Moreover, it is ensured that broader PEC/HEC guidelines are met while planning and
designing the program learning outcomes. At the time of introducing a new program, a zero
visit (if required) is conducted by the PEC in which it is determined whether the program
specifications are being met or not.

Assessment: The assessment of the Program-level outcomes is a mean to communicate to the


faculty regarding how their program is assessed with the aim and objective to promote
student learning. Indirect assessment of the designed PLOs is done through the feedback
obtained from the graduates’ survey. Both indirect and direct assessment approaches are used
to demonstrate the achievement of outcomes.

Analysis: Analysis of the PLOs is done through the internship reports, PLOs report, survey
report and grade report. These reports help to scrutinize the level of achievement of the
program- level learning outcomes. Grade reports reveal “what process students learn”.

20
Survey reports help to identify the loopholes in the student learning areas. Internship
assessment reports on the other hand, reveal the level of performance and understanding of
students.

Revision: In this phase, the gaps are identified in the reports and corrective action plan is
recommended by the OBE committee which is then reviewed and implemented to overcome
the shortcomings in student learning. If required, curriculum revision takes place through
GIK Institute’s academic council. The complete cycle for CQI of PLO is given in Chapter 9.

(c) Course Learning Objectives (CLOs)

CLOs of a given course are created by the concerned Instructor under the supervision of
respective faculty with the approval of Dean FEE. Mapping of PLOs to CLOs is done by
course instructors who are beforehand provided PLOs of the BS (EE) program.

Design/Planning: In planning phase, initially course plan is designed by incorporating


objectives, course contents, weekly lecture plans, text/ reference books. Six levels of Bloom’s
Taxonomy are defined as: evaluation, synthesis, analysis, application, comprehension and
knowledge. Later on, meaningful teaching assessment plan for CLOs is designed which
incorporates exams, quizzes, assignments and projects.

Assessment: During assessment phase, CLOs that were defined in the planning phase are
assessed using direct assessment method in which evaluation is done both through the
quizzes, assignments, exams and projects. For more effective outcomes, it is necessary to
adjust teaching and learning process. Therefore, assessment of teaching a course is done
through course and teacher evaluations. QEC office is involved in reporting evaluation once
grading is shared.

Analysis: Analysis of CLOs includes an examination of the course contents and the learning
outcomes which is carried out through students’ evaluation. CLOs are examined closely
through the analysis of the grades.

Revision: Once course learning outcomes are analyzed, course is then reviewed by the OBE
committee to identify any loopholes or weak areas. Mentoring, counseling and advisory
services are also covered in this phase. In addition to academic follow-up, a student wellness
counselor is also actively involved in student stress management and other such issues. The
complete CQI for CLOs is discussed in Chapter 9.

2.2 PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at GIK Institute has formulated the Program
Educational Objectives (PEOs) using feedback from the stake-holders. There are four PEOs
for the EE program. These PEOs are published in the prospectus, student’s handbook, and are
also available at the faculty section of the GIK Institute’s website (www.giki.edu.pk/FEE).

The four PEOs of FEE are stated as follows:

Our graduates will

23
PEO-1. Contribute in research, design, and development work

PEO-2. Provide sustainable solutions for complex engineering problems by utilizing and
updating knowledge and skills

PEO-3. Follow ethical, societal, and environmental aspects while undertaking an engineering
task; individually or in a team

PEO-4. Demonstrate leadership, communication, and managerial skills

A number of seminars and meetings were conducted by the Dean of FEE and Pro-Rector
(Academics) with the faculty on introduction and awareness of the PEOs and PLOs. Minutes

24
2.4 PROCESS TO EVALUATE ACHIEVEMENTS OF PEOs

The PEOs are evaluated using surveys which consist of data collected through the alumni and
employer surveys. PEOs are also verified using the alumni directory which give information
about the alumnus professions and recent activities. The alumni directory is also updated
annually by QEC office. KPIs and measurement sources for achievements of the PEOs are
shown in Table 2.2. Alumni and employers surveys are conducted annually. The findings of
these surveys are recorded by the QEC office. These surveys can also be helpful in review of
curriculum by stake-holders. Detailed survey to evaluate KPIs for PEOs is given in Annex R.

Credit Hour Definition
The credit hours assigned to a theory or a laboratory course are determined by the classroom
hours allocated to it per week throughout the semester. For a theory course one credit hour is
equivalent to one hour of lecture per week, and for a laboratory course three hours of
practical work in the laboratory per week constitutes one credit hour.

4.1 CURRICULUM DESIGN

4.1.1 Course codes

The courses are identified by the course numbers, which consist of two or three letters and
three digits. The first two or three letters represent the major field. The first digit indicates the

4.2 ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING CURRICULUM

FEE program is divided into eight semesters including one non-credit industrial internship as
well. Curriculum is designed to encourage instructors to include problem based learning in
their assessment of courses and labs. This gradually develops students’ abilities to handle
complex engineering problem in the latest stages of the curriculum. Assessment of EE
program constitute the following attributes,

4.2.1 Courses

The mode of course delivery is in the shape of lectures in classrooms. Over the course of a
single semester, the knowledge of the students is tested weekly or biweekly in the form of
quizzes and assignments. Apart from quizzes, a mid-term exam and a final exam are also
conducted. During each assessment (quiz, assignment, mid-term exam, final exam and
project), the instructor makes sure that the questions strongly map the CLOs and thus the
PLOs.

4.2.2 Labs

In each lab, mode of delivery includes initial lecture and demonstration by the lab instructor
followed by the required task explanation. Students are required to perform the task which is
evaluated by the lab instructor via demonstration, viva and/or lab report.

4.2.3 Tutorials/Seminars

Tutorials are arranged for students by instructor when required. Time slot in each week is
assigned for seminars or workshops from experts or industrial representatives.

4.2.4 Internship

It is a mandatory practice for students to receive industrial training after sophomore year as
per degree requirement.

4.3 ASSESSMENT OF COMPLEX ENGINEERING PROBLEM

There are three (3) major sources of complex engineering problems in FEE curriculum. They are:

1. Senior Design Project (SDP)


2. Junior Year Robotic Competition
3. Open Ended Labs
59
4.3.1 Senior Design Project (SDP) Assessment Mechanism

During the final year of BS (EE), students have more interaction with their senior design
project advisors which is of 6 credit hours. The proposed FYPs play important role to obtain
numerous professional skills like effective communication, project management, and
teamwork, etc. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for offering and evaluating Senior
Design Project SDP (may also be referred to as FYP) at FEE is listed as follows:

FYP Proposal Selection


During summer semester all faculty members may float FYP ideas through the FYP
coordinator to the final year students. These ideas may be any in number (minimum one)
covering the research areas or interests of the respective faculty members. Ideas can be in a
one line statement or a paragraph. The students, once they join campus after their internship,
discuss the ideas of their interest with individual faculty members and finalize their choice of
FYP.
Presentations

There are four to five presentations conducted in two semesters to evaluate the performance
of students. Each group of students consists of three to four members from inter faculty.
1. Each group is allowed 20 minutes for presentation. During these 20 minutes, students must
not be interrupted by questions from faculty.
2. After the presentation, there is an eight minutes question/answer (QA) session. During QA
session, only concerned students shall be allowed to answer the question. The QA session
must not exceed 8 minutes to avoid converting QA session to discussion. In case some
suggestions/questions remain pending, can be provided to the group later through their
advisor later.
3. Two minutes (optional) are reserved for the project advisor in case he/she needs to clarify
some additional points (which the students may have failed to clarify) regarding the particular
FYP.
4. FYP coordinator or his assigned representative keeps track of the above mentioned time
division and announces during the presentation when the time is up for each activity.

Evaluation
Owing to other administrative tasks, each faculty member may not be able to attend 100 % of
the FYP presentations. To ensure quality of FYPs and consistent equal evaluation, each group
is assigned a panel of two to three senior faculty members. This will have two obvious

60
advantages (a) consistent grading (each FYP being evaluated by same number of faculty
members)
(b) Faculty members will have the chance to evaluate FYPs of his/her interest/research area.
Shows the FYP evaluation breakdown. FYP report, presentations, open house evaluation and
supervisor assessment are included in the rubrics. Further details are given in Annex N.

Plagiarism
All submitted reports of FYP will be checked for plagiarism by the FYP coordinator.
Similarity index must be less than 20 % to qualify for the award of a grade.

4.3.2 Junior Year Robotic Competition

This project focuses to combine the modular ideas and concepts of different lab experience
into a single application robot, capable of performing multiple tasks. In this lab the students
learn to bring their knowledge to practice and motivate them with challenging tasks.
Combining the knowledge of microcontroller, logic design, control systems, electronic

61
devices and communication systems into a user-defined and task-oriented robot. JYRC is
composed of following core courses therefore every students has an opportunity to
experience complex engineering problem through this competition. The group photo of
students is shown in Figure 4.2.
 Control System: This part of the project deals in developing algorithms for
controlled movement of robot in the environment for better and calculated
navigation
 Electronic Devices: This part covers the electronics section of the robot
including power supply, high current driver circuits, sensor signal
conditioning and circuit protection.
 Communication System: This section covers the wireless communication for
data transmission and reception. The physical values from the sensors and the
commands are managed by the student through this part.
 Further details can be found in Exhibit room.

FIGURE 4.2: Junior Year Robotic Competition, 2015

4.3.3 Open Ended Labs

An open-ended lab is where students are given the freedom to develop their own
experiments, instead of merely following the already set guidelines from a lab manual or
elsewhere.
A study was carried out by conducting an open ended lab in Circuit Analysis lab in Fall 2016
semester. After successful incorporation of open ended lab in one lab of the curriculum of
62
FEE, decision to include more open ended labs in coming semester. For details, See
.

4.4 USAGE OF INTERNET AS A RESOURCE

The Internet with its wide variety of resources is now an integral part of any knowledge-
based activity. It is, therefore, impossible to imagine that any engineering program can
proceed effectively without using this valuable resource. Hence many of the courses are
dependent on internet as a resource material for example, Introduction to Computing, Digital
Logic Design, Microprocessor Interfacing, Signals and Systems and Digital Signal
Processing. The list is by no means exhaustive for the aforementioned reasons.

4.5 EMPHASIS ON ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Semester projects are part and parcel of many undergraduate level courses with regular
presentations and assignment reports. Moreover, during report work, all students have to give
presentations in front of the senior faculty members. All these activities enhance the
communication and presentation skills of the students. Following courses are offered to the
students in initial semesters of their degree to enable them express their knowledge
effectively.

1. English and Study Skills (HM101)


2. Technical Report Writing (HM102)

HM101 aims to equip the students with the necessary language and communication skills to
cope with their academic and professional needs. The course prepares the students for
academic reading, academic writing, oral presentations, reference skills and grammar. The
students are provided with opportunities to practice communication skills and are introduced
to the principles of effective writing from the sentence level to full-length texts with emphasis
on logical organization of materials. Oral communication is improved through class seminars
and group discussions.

HM102 aims at developing competence in scientific and technical report writing. The
mechanics and conventions of writing process are introduced through communicative
activities and tasks. The course focuses on technical report writing and correspondence
related to the profession of engineering. The course also deals with the issues and problems
of planning and designing technical presentations for varying situations and audiences.

63
4.6 INSTITUTE WIDE ASSESSMENT AND GRADING POLICY

4.6.2 Grading Policy of Institute

Depending upon academic performance, students are awarded grades A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+,
C, C-, D+, D, F, I, W for each course. These grades indicate the following levels of
performance.

A Excellent
B Good
C Adequate
D Minimum acceptable
F Failure, implying that the student must repeat
I Incomplete
W Withdrawn

Each grade is assigned Grade Points per Credit (GPC). The following table indicates the
gradation from excellent to failure.

Grade GPC Grade GPC


A 4.00 C 2.00
A- 3.67 C- 1.67
B+ 3.33 D+ 1.33
B 3.00 D 1.00
B- 2.67 F 0.00
C+ 2.33

I and W grades are not counted in calculation of GPA. The academic standing of a student is
referred as grade point average (GPA) which is the ratio of the total number of grade points
earned to the total number of credits attempted. The maximum possible GPA is 4.00.
The minimum semester GPA requirement to remain in the satisfactory academic standing is
65
2.00. Students are placed on academic probation at the end of semester in which their
semester GPA falls below 2.00. A student on probation is allowed to register only 10-13
credit hours.

A student whose semester GPA (SGPA) remains below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters is
given a warning for his/her poor performance. If his/her SGPA remains below 2.00 for two

5.2 POLICIES AND PROCESSES FOR CREDIT TRANSFER/EXEMPTION

An applicant for transfer from a local or foreign institution is required to have passed the
Institute's admission test or local applicants SAT-II (for overseas applicants) by securing
equal or more marks than the minimum merit of the faculty in which he/she seeks admission.
However, the acceptance of request for transfer will depend on availability of seats, and the
quality of academic work already done by the applicant. For supplementary information and
application form, applicant needs to contact Director Admissions and Examinations.

5.3 MECHANISM FOR PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO STUDENTS

5.3.1 Academic Advisors

Each student is assigned an academic advisor which holds regular meetings, both formal and
informal, with the advisee. Before the start of a semester, each faculty sends a list of advisors
with that of advisees to Examination Section. This list does not include the first semester
students. Usually the advisor for the first semester is the Dean of the concerned Faculty. The
advisor prepares the degree plan for his/her advisee and has periodic audit of the student’s
progress. The advisor maintains record files of his/her advisees containing his/her semester-
wise progress reports, courses completed, a list of courses to be completed, co-curricular
activities and any other information that he/she deems relevant. Students are advised to
consult their academic advisors before registering for courses in each semester. Each advisor
is provided the following:

 A list of advisees
 Final result report of each of his/her advisees, and
 A recent copy of the GIK Institute’s prospectus

while signing the course registration form of a student, The advisor certifies that the courses
recommended by him/her are in accordance with the advisee’s degree plan, the
prerequisite(s) are fulfilled, and the course numbers, titles and credit hours assigned are
correct and according to allowed limit.

5.3.2 Career Counseling

The Institute has a career counseling center named Office of Research, Innovation and
Commercialization (ORIC). It was formed in July 2010 as an attempt to provide better

69
services to students, alumni and industry. ORIC is responsible for industry relations, alumni
relations, career counseling, placement of students, fund raising, business development
activities, and communication and marketing.

ORIC connects students, graduates and alumni with region’s leading employers. ORIC plays
an instrumental role of a supporting body that offers GIK research facilities, human
resources, its expertise and skills to the industry for cooperative research and development
projects.

GIK Institute is committed to building and nurturing lifelong relationship with its alumni and
is looking forward to strengthen it further through the ORIC. The office aims to form a
mutually beneficial relationship between the Institute and alumni, wherever they are located;
also by providing alumni with opportunities to be a part of GIK Institute for good. Working
closely with GIK Institute Alumni Association (GIKAA), ORIC range of services and events.

At GIK Institute, ORIC defines the outreach as services beyond routine lecture hall and
laboratory activities. ORIC contribute to the students in the following ways:

 How to become engineering professionals


 Ethical and professional responsibilities of an engineer
 Understanding global and societal relevancy to enhance life-long learning.
 How to tap job options and future career
 Connects businesses to students and graduate talent
 Offers seminars, workshops and other events on professional training of students
 Organizes events to connect employers, students and graduates

5.4 STUDENT WELLNESS COUNSELOR

A student wellness counselor is appointed to help students in academics and stress


management and to promote a sense of community and belongings among students. The
student counselor works regularly with students to help them in their emotional,
psychological, familial and academic problems. Stress management techniques and relaxation
methods are offered to deal with anxiety and stress. The system ensures complete
confidentiality of any discussion of students and their wellness counselor.
Table 5.3 shows the number of individual and group consultations for the year 2013.

Individual Counseling Session 98


Group Counseling Session 2

Additionally, thirteen regular seminars are conducted on stress management techniques and
relaxation methods.

5.5 CLASS SIZES FOR THEORY AND


LABORATORY SESSIONS AND COMPLETION OF COURSES

5.5.1 Course Load

Normally, a student is required to register in a full semester (fall or spring) for a minimum
course work of 10 credit hours. Maximum limit is 15-18 credit hours in a semester. No
exception to this upper limit is allowed for freshmen. However, in later years, this limit may
be relaxed with the approval of the Dean. A student having a cumulative grade point average
(CGPA) of at least 3.00/4.00 can request the advisor to allow registration of up to 21 credit
hours, in case the extra course is relevant to his degree program or his research project.

In case of a probation where the previous regular Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a
student falls below 2.00, the student is allowed to register for 10-13 credit hours only. An
exception to this rule can be made for the senior year students with the approval of the Pro-
Rector (Academic). Students under probation are also allowed to register for one repeating
course above the restricted limits of 10-13 credit hours in which they have previously
obtained an F, D or a D+ grade, provided their CGPA is above 2.00.
Students are not allowed to register for two Humanities or Management courses in a single
semester. In addition, 6 credit hours of final year project cannot be registered in a single
semester.

5.5.2 Semester Registration (1st Week of Semester)

Normally, the first week of each semester is partly devoted to course registration. Students
are required to complete the registration formalities online by 5.00 p.m. of the last working
day of the first week of the semester (inclusive of holidays, if any). Registration by post or
proxy is not accepted. The registration office, before the start of the semester, may notify any
changes in registration deadline due to special circumstances.

71
5.5.3 Late Registration (2nd Week of Semester)

In case a student could not submit the course online registration form within the registration
period of the semester due to unavoidable and acceptable reasons, Pro-Rector (Academic)
may grant approval of the late registration on the following terms and conditions.
 The registration shall not be late by more than two weeks of the normal registration
deadline, inclusive of holidays, if any.
 The Dean of the Faculty must approve and recommend the registration form and
forward it to the Pro-Rector (A).
If granted approval, the student deposits a sum of Rs.800/- per working day per semester,
exclusive of weekend and holidays, if any, as late registration fee in the Account Office and
submits a copy of the receipt along with the approved late registration forms to the
Registration Office. Registration after the late registration deadline is not accepted under any
circumstances.

5.5.4 Add/Drop of Courses (3rd Week of Semester)

Students who wish to add or drop a course must do so before the end of the first three weeks
of the semester by submitting the course add and drop form. For adding a course, the
academic advisor checks the schedule of classes and determines if the requested course is
being offered and it does not require any alteration in the timetable. A dropped course does
not appear in the final transcript.

5.5.5 Auditing Course(s) (3rd Week of Semester)

A student can audit course(s) subject to the following terms and conditions:
 The course is not needed by him/her to graduate.
 The audit status of a course cannot be changed to credit.
 Course once audited cannot be repeated as a credit course.
A student who wants to audit a course has to submit a Course Audit Form in the third week
of the semester through his faculty to the Registration Office. An audited course does not
appear on the transcript.

72
5.5.6 Withdrawal from Courses (4th 10th Week of Semester)

Students can withdraw course during the period starting from the fourth week of the semester
till the end of the 10th week inclusive of holidays, if any. In such a case, the student has to
submit a course withdrawal form. The advisor determines if the withdrawal is crucial for the
advisee’s academic performance and if the course is not a pre-requisite for the next semester
courses. A “W” grade appears on the transcript in this case. A student who gets a “W” grade
does not require repeating this course at a later stage if this course is not in his degree
requirement. A “W” grade does not count in the GPA calculations. A course in which a
student gets an “F” grade has to be repeated in any case.

5.5.7 Repeating Course(s)

The courses in which a student receives an “F” or a “W” grade and are requirement for the
degree, have to be repeated. Students may opt to take a substitute course only if there is a
provision of an alternative in the curriculum. Students may also repeat courses in which they
receive D+ or D grade provided they do so in the coming three semesters after the result of
the course is announced. A student cannot repeat a course in which he/she previously earned
a grade of C- (C minus) or better. If such an incident is discovered at any time, the student
will be dropped from the course or the latest grade earned in the course will be cancelled. In
case of repeated courses, all grades earned by students appear on the transcripts; however,
only the latest grade is counted in calculating the CGPA, even if it is lower than the earlier
one.

5.5.8 Interruption of Studies

In case a student interrupts his/her study program at the GIK Institute for a period longer than
one semester, his/her courses are evaluated by the concerned Dean to determine their
relevance to the changes made in the curriculum, if any, upon his/her return. In such a case,
the student may be required to modify the degree plan in order to ensure conformity to the
most recent curriculum.

5.6 DISCUSSION ON STUDEN CTIVITIES AND INVOLVEMENT IN


STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Although the main emphasis is on academics, the GIK Institute considers participation of
students in games and other co-curricular activities equally important. Besides professional

73
clubs, which each faculty supports, there are many different clubs and societies for students
that they can choose to join depending upon their interests and availability. Active
participation in these clubs and societies provides students with opportunities to pursue their
hobbies and groom their personalities by enhancing their communications, managerial,
leadership and other skills. The details of various societies are given in this section later. The
GIK Institute, besides having a gymnasium for boys and girls with separate timings, offers a
variety of indoor and outdoor sports. There is a qualified Sports Officer who plans and co-
ordinates all such activities and maintains these facilities. For each game/match, proper
instructions must be followed.

5.6.1 Clubs and Societies

The GIK Institute is situated in calm and tranquil countryside and the campus of the GIK
Institute is a self- contained cosmos. Here, the students generate a fullness of life for
themselves, and their superabundant energies find outlets in a host of socio-cultural activities.
Through generous financial allocations and faculty supervision, the Institute supports all
modes of constructive self-expression of the students. There is thus much on the campus by
way of recreational facilities, which mitigate the rigors of very demanding academic
engagements. For efficient organization of various clubs/ societies, there is always a
coordinator, usually a senior student and an academic advisor. The activities of all the clubs/
societies are co-coordinated by Dean Student Affairs. Each club/society plans different
activities, which are usually well publicized. Some of the clubs and societies, which organize
the socio-cultural activities, are introduced here.

5.6.2 Professional Societies

Each faculty in the Institute supports a professional organization, devoted to advancing


theory and practice of their respective fields. IEEE and IET represent the Faculty of
Electronic Engineering whereas ACM is mainly represented by the students of Faculty of
Computer Science and Engineering. ASM-TMS is a joint venture of the staff and students of
the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering. The SPIE and Science Society work under
the umbrella of Faculty of Engineering Sciences and welcome the membership from all the
faculties. ASME, ASHRAE and AIAA student chapter are affiliated with Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering.

5.6.4 Guidelines for Society Members

There are a few guidelines for students while joining the societies:
 Students must involve themselves in the opportunities that interest them. They will
find many student societies in GIK Institute. They can participate in more than one
society but must be active for one society which appeals them most, so they could get
some recognition in the society.
 There must be a balance in student’s academics and co-curricular activities because
the research has shown that more involvement brings more benefits but its excess puts
academic achievements in danger. In GIK Institute, academics are more important so

75
students are advised to have a balance in all activities to ensure that their studies and
wellness are not affected.
 Fresh students must not burden themselves right away with different extracurricular
activities to maintain a balance between their co-curricular activities and academics
rather they should join other activities later on. It brings them recognition in the
societies without brining harm to their studies. List of societies and professional
chapters at the institute is summarized in Table 5.3.

5.7 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPI) TO DEMONSTRATE


ES IN RELATION TO PLOS

A. The performance of students in relation to the PLOs is evaluated on the bases of


assignments, quizzes, course project, mid-term and final-term exam etc. These
assignments are created in such a manner that they fulfill one or more CLOs which in
turn fulfill the PLOs. Similarly, weekly or biweekly quizzes are conducted where
strict care is taken to correlate between the problems in the quizzes with PLOs. The
same criterion is followed in course projects as well. Each project is graded, based on
the number of CLOs and thus, PLOs that it fulfills. Students are required to take a
mid-term exam, (eight weeks after the start of the semester) and final-term exam,
(fifteen weeks after the start of semester). In these exams,
questions/problems/scenarios are posed which strongly map to PLOs while
challenging the learning ability of the students.
B. Final year project is where students use the knowledge gained throughout the course
of their study to develop a specific system using a research-oriented approach. After
choosing a specific area of interest, the students must adhere to the PLOs in their
research work. From experimentation to using modern tools, the students are asked to
work as a team, document every result and meet every deadline. This entire exercise
helps to stimulate professionalism within the students while enhancing their
communication skills. The students are advised against the plagiarism during their
final year project report writing and research. This helps to emphasize the importance

81
of professional ethics while meeting the PLOs. A mapping between the PLOs and the
final year project can be viewed in Annex D.
C. Student societies are where the students work as a group and organize events such as
debate competitions, coding competitions, robotics events and events related to
culture and drama. The experience gained during the organization of such events
polishes the interpersonal skills of students. They learn about team work, management
and leadership. These activities, while flourishing the personal skills of students, also
fulfill some of the PLOs. Quaid-e-Azam Gold Medal is awarded to student who
shows an overall best performance in academics as well as in societies every year.

For details on faculty strength kindly see Annex I
For faculty summary kindly see Annex J
For faculty workload details kindly see Annex K

(b) Faculty Evaluation

Once a year each faculty member needs to fill “Annual Academic Record” form. In this form
the faculty member has to clearly show his/her annual performance. This form is
countersigned by the dean and sent to the Pro-Rector for further action. This form also has
the student’s evaluation section, which helps in monitoring the teaching capabilities of the
teacher.

90
For promotion, a faculty member has to fulfill the minimum requirements for the higher post.
Minimum requirements for the post of an RA, assistant professor, associate professor and
professor are elaborated in Section 6.2.2.

(c) Usefulness of Evaluation Results

Evaluation results are communicated to the respective faculty member so that he/she can
improve his/her weaknesses. This procedure is repeated usually once a year.

6.2.3 The Process of Delivering Course Material

The processes and procedures are in place to ensure that teaching and delivery of course
material to the students emphasize active learning and that course learning outcomes are met.
The processes are periodically evaluated.

(a) Effective Teaching

Student attendance is enforced in each class. Failing to attend 80% of total number of classes
disqualifies a student to appear in the final exam. Lectures halls are equipped with overhead
projectors, desktop projectors and white board to ensure convenient delivery of lectures.
Students are frequently tested with quizzes along with midterm and final exams. A semester
long course project is also given to student in courses to encourage their active participation
in the course.

(b) Evaluating Teaching

At the end of each semester, the course is evaluated for its contents and method of delivery
by students. The course instructor is notified if there’s any room for improvement highlighted
by the evaluation by the Dean office.

(c) Obtaining Feedback

To measure the successfulness of the program, an industry survey form has been developed
and sent to those industries where our students are serving. The form is on-line and can be
easily filled.
The feedback about the quality level of the students is determined using factors both internal
as well as external. Following are some of the most common indicators.

91
(c-) Feedback from Courses

The most straightforward way to analyze whether the students meet the minimum level of
quality is obtained from the course results. This information is used to see whether the
performance and the understanding of the graduating batch are up to the required standard.
Some instructors with their years of experience at hand are also able to provide useful
information when they teach the same course to two different batches of students.

(c-ii) Feedback from Employers

Feedback from courses is not the only way to gauge the level of quality of the graduates.
Most students manage to find employment in various leading technical or managerial
organizations both locally as well as globally and feedback from the employers as well as the
progression of their careers acts as a suitable indicator. Many companies that used to visit the
GIK Institute’s Open House and Project Fair (held in April every year) also commend the
quality of the students that they have hired and cite it as one of the principal reasons for their
regular return to GIK’s Project Fair each year. Earlier, however, this input was not properly
documented and emerged in conversation between the representatives of companies and the
faculty.

(c-iii) Feedback from Alumni

The institute’s alumni are actively involved and their forum also provides us with useful
suggestions on how to improve the quality of education in not only academic content but also
in terms of academic atmosphere. Some of the alumni are also currently teaching inside the
department and the Institute continuously benefits from their feedback.

(d) Suggestions for Improvement

The procedure, though in place in essence, could do with standardization and greater
documentation. Greater amount of feedback ought to be attained from foreign and local
universities where our students head to. It is suggested that GIK may request the universities,
with the consent of the students, to analyze transcripts of the students to evaluate whether the
students lag/succeed in various facets of their studies. For instance it might transpire that
certain students lack proper mathematical skills, or perhaps an experimental background and
this information may be used to improve the situation at home.

92
(e) Student Teacher Ratio

Dedicated Faculty (100%) 10


Shared Faculty (25% of regular strength of faculty) 02
(GA’s strength) 02
Total Faculty 14
Total currently enrolled students 296
Student –to- teacher ratio (296/14) = 21: 1

6.3 FACULTY WORKLOAD FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING

Faculty members are required to teach two courses in regular semesters (Spring and Fall) and
are assigned teaching load during summer semester with their consent only. This procedure
gives the faculty members ample time for their research and professional development.

Academic load on faculty members is two three-credit-hour courses per semester. According
to the contract with the Institute they have to work for forty hours a week. In the time outside
the classroom, they are expected to perform other departmental duties and do research.
Faculty members are assigned the summer courses on their consent. Thus summer time of
three months can also be used by faculty members for their research and professional growth.
The FEE has a good number of publications each year which shows excellence in research.
Selected publications of the FEE can be found in the Exhibit Room.

8 CHAPTER 8 INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL
RESOURCES
This chapter gives a brief historical background of the institute followed by the bodies
involved in providing the Institute with the necessary financial support. It also lists the key
milestones achieved by the Institute from the year of its inception to its 20th anniversary.

8.1 INSTITUTE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT AND SUPPORT TO SUSTAIN AND


ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF PROGRAM

8.1.1 Overview

Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute is one of the most prestigious engineering institutes of Pakistan.
It is known world over for setting a standard of excellence in the field of engineering. Over
the years, the Institute has produced bright and innovative graduates now employed at some
of the most respectable firms all over the world. The GIK Institute aspires to be a center of
excellence in engineering sciences and technology, which acts as an effective agent of change
and a model for others to emulate. It is autonomous, independently chartered, and is funded
by the private sector. It strives to attract faculty of outstanding talent and ability to provide
students with a supporting and enabling environment. It hopes to produce graduates who
distinguish themselves by their professional competence, humanistic outlook and ethical
rectitude, pragmatic approach to problem-solving, and organizational and managerial skills.
Given these attributes, the students are able to respond adequately to the needs of Pakistan as
well as global needs.

120
Apart from its outstanding academic programe, GIK Institute is also known for the versatility
and vibrancy of its extra-curricular scenario. All of these activities are student-organized. At
present, GIKI has more than 30 student societies. These organizations provide students with
various opportunities to indulge in their aesthetic interests and experience working in a
professional environment. Moreover, these societies instill in their members the priceless
qualities of teamwork and leadership.

8.1.2 Genesis

The genesis of the Institute can be traced back to the early 1950's when Mr. Ghulam Ishaq
Khan (late) became acutely aware of Pakistan's dependence on foreign expertise and
imported technology. Out of his frequent interactions with foreign and local experts emerged
the idea that a center of excellence in engineering sciences and production technology ought
to be established in the country, a center whose standards of education are comparable to
those of its counterparts in the advanced countries. The transformation of this idea into a
practical proposition took place in December 1985 when the Benevolent Community Care
and Infaq Foundation donated Rs. 50 million for setting up an institute in the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa for promotion of science and technology.

A milestone in the evolution of the Institute was the registration in June, 1988 of its parent
body, namely, Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and Technology in
Pakistan (SOPREST). Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan (late), then the President of the country, was
elected the President of the society for life and Mr. H. U. Beg was appointed its honorary
Executive Director.

The task of conceiving and formulating the basic form and features of the Institute was
entrusted to a group of eminent scientists and engineers. These professionals started
transformation of the dream into reality at a galloping pace. The civil work at the campus site
started in early 1990. An interim office of the Institute was set up in August 1992 where
senior professionals with outstanding backgrounds worked in a cohesive group to evolve the
educational aims and philosophy of the Institute, its curricula and details of state-of-the-art
equipment for its laboratories and workshops. The ordinance of the Institute was promulgated
by the provincial Government in March 1993 and the first batch of students entered its portals
in October 1993.

121
The Institute symbolizes the immense altruism and concern for collective welfare that exists
in the private sector. It is the first privately-funded institute of its kind in the country and is
dedicated to bringing our engineering education at par with the advanced countries. The
tuition fee has to be in consonance with the high cost of education. However, what the
students are charged hardly covers the annual expenditure. Total capital outlay of the Institute
to-date on historical cost basis works out to more than Rs. 2.5 billion for which funds were
mobilized from diverse sources including a major donation of Rs. 750 million from Infaq
Foundation and land measuring 216 acres donated by the Government of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.

9 CHATPER 9 CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

This chapter is dedicated to the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and lists how FEE
removed the weaknesses and non-conformances observed during the last accreditation and
evaluation visit.

9.1 MECHANISM FOR CONTINUAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

9.1.1 Introduction - GIKI Quality Enhancement Cell

A Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) was established in 2008 at the Institute. The cell works
under the supervision of the Pro-Reactor (Academic) and implements policies for quality
assurance at the Institute. The internal quality assurance procedures and processes of
teaching, and learning assessment are in line with the HEC’s quality assurance guidelines.
The cell is responsible to undertake assignments of; data analysis, provide support in
compilation of self-assessment reports (SARs), Program Teams and Assessment Teams
meetings, seminars on quality assurance, and to create awareness impatt training for quality
teaching and education. The QEC has completed SARs of all undergraduate programs in the
first cycle and adopted the implementation plan for CQI. The cell has improved the internal
quality assurance on Outcome Based Education (OBE).
The vision of QEC it to provide education at highest standards of quality by employing best
framework recommended by HEC and PEC to meet international standards.

9.1.2 QEC Assessment

QEC is divided into different parts, Stake-holders, Department Database, Program Team and
Academic Council. For quality assessment of the program, curriculum and content review is
based on feedback from all stakeholders including faculty members, industry, and alumni.
This whole process is guided by the vision and mission of the GIK Institute and mission of
the Faculty.
QEC collects input from different stakeholders. Results obtained from the evaluation are in
shape of surveys conducted by QEC office; the data is compiled program wise and is reported
to Pro-Rector (A) office which then forwards it to the concerned dean. Depending upon the
type of action required the findings are discussed in faculty meeting and faculty study boards.
The curriculum may then be updated and formally approved at the Institute’s Academic
Council and incorporated in the academic program.

123
QEC also initiates the self-assessment one semester prior to the end of assessment cycle
through the Rector office. This document is forwarded to the respective faculty. The faculty
then assembles a program team (PT). The responsibility of this team is to prepare the SAR
document of the respective program over a period of one semester. PT is the contact group
during this period. The faculty Dean then forwards the SAR prepared by PT to the QEC
office. This document is reviewed by QEC within one month to ensure that it has been
prepared according to the required format. QEC forwards its recommendations and the
Rector assembles a program assessment team (PAT) in consultation with the faculty Dean
within one month. PAT comprises of 2-3 faculty members. After this, QEC plans and
schedules PAT visit period in coordination with the concerned faculty. PAT conducts
assessment and submits a report. PAT presents its findings in an exit meeting which is
attended by the QEC, coordinator Dean of the faculty, PT and faculty members. An executive
summary of the PAT findings is then submitted by QEC to the Rector. Based on the PAT
findings, faculty prepares an implementation plan and submits it to QEC which follows up on
the implementation plan in order to ensure that the faculty is adhering to the implementation
plan. The faculty informs QEC each time a corrective plan is implemented. QEC reviews the
implementation plan once every semester to assess the progress of implementation.

124
CQI Cycle for CLOs
The complete CQI cycle for CLO attainment and corrective action plan are shown in Fig. 9.1
and Fig. 9.2 respectively. CQI cycle constitutes four phases which are briefly described in the
following.

Figure 9.1. CQI process for CLOs.

*OBE based result sheet (Annex O)


**Course feedback form (Annex O)
***When requirement for review of curriculum and/or CLO or KPI change

Fig. 9.2. Corrective action plan for CLO attainment.

125
Design/Planning: In the planning phase, an initial course plan is designed incorporating
course objectives, course contents, weekly lecture plans, and text/ reference books. CLOs are
defined based on six levels of Bloom’s taxonomy in consultation with stakeholders and also
mapped with PLOs. Later on, a careful teaching assessment plan for CLO is designed which
incorporates quizzes, assignments, mid exam, final exam, and projects etc.
Assessment: In the assessment phase, CLOs that were defined in the planning phase are
assessed using direct assessment method in which evaluation is done through quizzes,
assignments, exams, and projects. At the end of every semester, OBE result sheet is generated
(Annex O).
Evaluation and Analysis: In this phase, course feedback form is submitted by each course
instructor. Instructor gives his/her feedback by closely examining the marks obtained by
students (Annex O)
Revision and Implementation: Once CLOs are analyzed by an instructor, result is then
reviewed by the OBE committee. This committee constitutes two to four faculty members.
Within two weeks after submission of results, OBE committee holds meeting and goes
through OBE result sheet, course feedback form and corrective action plan (Fig 4.26) and
gives its recommendation by generating the course review report (Annex O). This report is
approved by the Dean and finally goes back to the course instructor and is also placed in the
record. A few possible suggestions for corrective actions by OBE committee are given below:

 Revision of assessment tools (quiz, assignment etc.)


 Review of Bloom’s taxonomy levels for CLOs
 Review of topics in pre-requisite courses
 Redistribution of time for each CLO
 Recommendation for extra tutorials to compliment this course in further course
offering
 Any other

126
CQI Cycle for PLOs
The complete CQI cycle for PLO attainment is discussed below and corrective action plan for
PLO attainment is shown in Fig 4.27.

Fig. 4.27. Corrective action plan for PLO attainment


Design/Planning: Program learning outcomes (PLOs) are defined and aligned with the
mission and vision of GIK Institute and the mission of FEE. Planning of PLOs incorporates
designing and formulating an entire framework of curriculum that focuses on the thrust areas
of the faculty. Moreover, it is ensured that the PEC/HEC guidelines are being met while
adopting PLOs. PLOs are also mapped with PEOs. The stakeholders for designing and
planning include FEE board of studies and faculty study board.
Assessment: In every semester, PLO attainment of each student is monitored continuously
thorough OBE based result sheet. The sheet gives the PLO attainment at individual level and
at cohort level. An assigned person informs every student about PLO attainment in every
semester.
Analysis and Revision: At the end of every year, OBE committee analyzes the OBE sheet
and corrective action plan. Based on that, the committee decides if any student fails to
achieve the 40 % KPI (cumulative) of PLO. The decision is conveyed to each student every
year. The OBE committee may give recommendation for extra tutorials in future to improve
students skill set. If 60 % or more students do not achieve PLOs, i.e. at cohort level, the
committee also analyzes it and gives suggestions to improve it.

127
CQI Cycle for PEOs
The complete CQI cycle for attainment of PEOs is shown in Fig 4.28.

Fig. 4.28. CQI cycle for attainment of PEOs.


Planning: The PEOs are designed in accordance with the vision and mission of GIK Institute
and with consultation of stakeholders including Institute’s management, alumni, and
industrial advisory board.
Assessment: Assessment of PEOs is carried out through feedback obtained from employer
survey and the alumni survey every year. These data are managed by QEC.
Analysis: Analysis of feedback from employer and alumni is carried out before the revision
of PEOs, if required.
Revision and Implementation: The review process begins with a faculty meeting where the
PEOs are discussed. If any change in the prevailing PEOs is required, the OBE committee
revises the PEOs and presents that to the Dean FEE. If the Dean approves the suggested
changes, the same is presented to the stakeholders for concurrence. Finally, the revised PEOs
are approved by the Pro-Rector (A), to become active/applicable.

128
9.1.3 Student Advising and Counseling

In addition to the aforementioned process the institute has a well-defined process of


student advising and counseling. The primary function of the system is to alert the students
of the danger of unsatisfactory academic performance and to point out resources that can
help these students succeed academically. The academic progress during a semester is
tracked for each course and reports generated at Director (Admissions and Examination)
office. Students receive notification of their academic performances in the sixth week of
the semester. After receiving the reports, students are encouraged to meet with their course
instructor and then with their academic advisors. Reports are delivered early enough to
allow solution of student problems such as absenteeism, missed assignments, and low test
scores. The same reports are shared with the parents and faculty’s academic advisors of
students. The academic advisors meet regularly at least twice with his/her advisees each
semester. The advisors may have additional meetings with weak students to discuss their
progress. In case of a student’s psychological or other problems GIK Institute provides
facility of a student counselor. This process is repeated with fixed intervals to review each
student’s performance.

The CQI is also executed via a well-defined re-admission and separation policy. Over the
years institute has made endeavors to maintain quality of engineering programs. The
students are required to follow academic rules for admission, registration and
examination according to their degree program. The normal duration for undergraduate
degree programs is four years which is extendable up to six years. The Institute has been
monitoring student performance and facilitated to provide opportunities to students to
attend regular meetings and sessions with faculty, advisors, deans and student’s counselor
to discuss academic and other matters. The parents are regularly informed about the
academic performance of students and are also invited to attend special meetings in case of
poor performance of student. General guidelines for separation and re-admission of
students who may not been able to perform well to maintain the GPA requirement
during their degree program has been implemented. The policy is formulated to
define and set achievable goals for the students particularly in case of consecutive
probations.

129
9.1.4 Policy and Rules

A student admitted to the Institute should maintain satisfactory academic standing i.e., a
GPA of 2.00 or above. A student is placed on academic probation (AP) in case his/her
SGPA falls below 2.00 (on a scale of 4.00). A student on academic probation is issued
a warning letter stating that he/she should improve his/her academic performance. In
case of two consecutive probations, a student is separated from the roll of the Institute. For
clarity and to assess the status of readmission Cumulative Credit hours (CCH) is defined as
sum of total credit hours of all the courses attempted by the student over all the completed
semesters and Transferable CCH as sum of total credit hours of all the courses passed
with grade C- or above at the time of readmission of a separated student over all the
completed semesters.

First Year Freshmen Separation

First year separation is separation in case of two consecutive probations. However one-
time re-admission in the same program is allowed as freshman (no credit transfer)
without appearing in the admission test.

Second Year Sophomore Separation

Second year separation is separation in case of two consecutive probations. However a


student with two consecutive probations may apply for re-admission subject to
fulfillment of following conditions:

i. CGPA ≥ 1.90

ii. 30 ≥ Transferable CCH ≤ 59

After acquiring Re-admission Status (RS) the student’s C- and above grades are
credited but must be repeated D, D+ and F grades. A re-admitted student will be
permanently separated in case he/she is unable to maintain CGPA ≥ 2.00 (with normal
semester load) at any time in the remaining period of the study program of the RS.
Third Year - Junior Separation
Third year separation is separation in case of two consecutive probations. However, a
student with two consecutive probations may apply only once for continuation as
normal without re-admission subject to fulfillment of following conditions:
130
i. CGPA ≥ 1.90

ii. 60 ≥ Transferable CCH ≤ 89

Student is placed on academic watch and barred from holding office of student
societies. She/he will be permanently separated in case s/he is unable to maintain CGPA
≥ 2.00 at any time in the remaining period of the study program.

Fourth Year Senior Separation

Fourth year separation is separation in case of two consecutive probations. However, a


student with two consecutive probations may apply for continuation only once as
normal without re-admission subject to fulfillment of following conditions:

i. CGPA ≥ 1.90

ii. Transferable CCH ≥ 95

iii. Degree Plan clearly indicating completion of degree requirement within six years
since joining the Institute.

Such a student is placed on academic watch and barred from holding office of student
societies. He/she will be permanently separated in case he/she is unable to maintain
CGPA ≥ 2.00 at any time in the remaining period of study program. In case of
extenuating circumstances such as serious accident, disabling illness or immediate
family bereavement, the case will be referred to Deans Committee for assessment for
continuation. A student may apply for re-admission or continuation within a week after
the declaration of the result of a regular semester. The case will be processed and
the final decision will be communicated within two weeks. The student may apply
for appeal (only once on petition form) for review of decision. A student who applied
for re-admission may be allowed for provisional registration until the final decision is
communicated.

10.3 GIK INSTITUTE SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

To satisfy their degree requirements, in addition to all other academic activities at GIK
Institute, students are required to go through industrial experience in an organization after
third year (6th semester), where they groom their technical, managerial and interpersonal
skills. The purpose of this 6-8 weeks training / internship during the summer semester is to
give an individual exposure and practical hands-on experience. As internship is mandatory
for the students, GIK Institute takes the responsibility to place all of them (over 300 students
every year) at over 100 multinational / government research and industry organizations.
Additionally, every year, a good number of students are sent overseas to carry out their
summer internships. There are two student run societies (AIESEC and IAESTE) working at
the GIK Institute, for international student internships exchange programs.

We invite expression of interest from the industry for the internship slots to be offered to our
students. Later, according to the industry requirements, through a very rigorous and
transparent process, we place students in the organizations according to their merit, area of
interest, specialization, expertise, and geographical location. We make sure to place them
according to merit after long and thorough internal process including panel interviews where
faculty members also participate in the panel.

After the students are placed, we nominate them to the industry and send confirmation to
each student with the evaluation form, which needs to be filled out by his/her concerned

136
internship supervisor. Later, after the completion of internship, each student is asked to
submit an internship report along with the evaluation form and gives out a presentation to
respective faculty and is graded accordingly. The Institute’s new policy for internship
assessment is given in chapter 5 previously described. Table 10.1 1lists the results of
internship evaluation based on policy for the Year 2013. Rubric for Assessment of internship
is given in Annex N.

1. Abstract
The project aims to automate a restaurant for delivery of food via a specialized robotic waiter
along with automated ordering of meals. The customer will get seated and place the order via a
menu webpage on a tablet placed on the table. The order will be communicated to the chef
through webpage. He will prepare and place the order on the Robot's tray. The ordered meal will

153
be delivered to the customer by the robot via line tracking. Robot will leave the tray on
designated table for customers and retrieve it when the customers finish their meal. Robot is
capable of obstacle detection (within a range of 25 inches) with the use of sonar sensor. Robot is
also able to greet customers and sounding an alarm when an obstacle is detected. The system
makes restaurant management cost effective, efficient and profitable.

2. Main Objectives
This final year project report focuses on three major objectives:
1. Automation of meal ordering system
2. Automation of food delivery and dish retrieving
This is shown in the following block diagram:

FIGURE 2: BLOCK DIAGRAM

3. Mechanical Body Design


Robot weighs 14 kg and uses DC Gear Motors (131:1 Gear box, 12V, and 18 kg-cm torque)
which give it a speed of 0.15ms-1 .Overall dimensions of the robot are 50cm x 40cm x 130cm.

.

FIGURE 3: ROBOTIC WAITER

4. Hardware Module
4.1 H-Bridge
The Robot consists of two types of motors. The ones that are responsible for the robot
movement are DC Gear motors and the ones that are responsible for moving the robot wrists
are Servo motors. The bridge specifications depend upon the motor’s properties. The motor’s
specs as per data sheet are 5A stall current and 24v operating voltage. So the H-bridge needs
to be of the same or a little larger specifications.

FIGURE 4: H-BRIDGES FOR DC MOTOR

4.2 Speech Module


The Arduino was interfaced with SD card module through SPI interface. The SD card has a space
of 1GB with several sounds fed into it. When the Arduino is connected to the SD card module,
and then to the amplifier circuit (shown in Figure 5) the sounds can be heard. A simple audio
amplifier IC LM386 has been used in this module which provides a gain from 20 to 200 times.

155
4.3 Line Tracking Circuitry
It works on the basic concept of a light emitting source such as a Red LED and a light dependent
source such as LDR.

FIGURE 5: LINE TRACKING CIRCUIT

5. Software Modules
The software modules comprise of three parts which are:
1. Graphical User Interface (GUI) was designed on LabVIEW to send and receive
commands from robot.

FIGURE 5: GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

156
2. Webpage was designed to order the menu from the customer table.

FIGURE 6: WEBPAGE TO ORDER MEAL

6. Application
1. Can be used as a personal robotic secretary.
2. Useful in space missions and other such investigative processes.
3. Can be used in hazardous areas for example nuclear power plant etc.
4. Can be used in restaurants for meal serving and delivery.
5. Useful in industries for movement of goods.

7. Future Extensions
1. Artificial intelligence to be used.
2. Real time image processing can be used.
3. Smart phone application can be used to order meal.
